Spike-Chunsoft have shared some more details about AI: The Somnium Files, this time focusing on the Investigation parts.
As mentioned several times previously, you play as one Kaname Date, a detective from a special department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (known as ABIS). You have to investigate in order to find a serial-killer carrying their misdeeds in Tokyo. Investigation is carried out in two parts: the Investigation Parts (in the real world), and the Somnium Parts.
During the Investigations parts, you go to various places in the real world, listen to the testimonies of people related to the case, examine things, etc., all in order to advance the story.
When interrogating people during your investigation, it’s important to listen closely to what they have to say, and then ask the right questions, in order to get new information and then use it to deepen your reasoning.
As mentioned in a previous report, Kaname Date’s left eye is actually an artificial eye called AI-Ball,which is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence and various abilities that prove extremely useful in his investigations.
Finally, we learn that Investigations part feature QTE (Quick Time Events), where you need to press the right button at the right time during special event scenes.
